Kreiss is a Latvian trucking company with predominantly negative driver feedback. The company advertises wages of 80-85 EUR per day but actually pays 50-65 EUR, a significant discrepancy that recruits frequently cite as deceptive. Drivers are required to purchase their own equipment including tablets, fuel measurement devices, uniforms, and work boots despite these being company-provided items in standard industry practice. The company deducts payment for fuel, equipment, and other costs systematically. Management and HR are accused of deliberately misrepresenting working conditions to attract drivers. The workforce consists primarily of migrant workers (Tajiks, Uzbeks, Indians) who accept lower wages due to limited employment alternatives. Recently the company has declined, with experienced drivers departing and management losing credibility. However, one long-term driver (5 years tenure) reported only positive experiences, suggesting the company may suit motivated beginners willing to accept difficult conditions. Transportation to work sites is provided but at rates far below standard (20 EUR for 4-day journeys vs 80 EUR typical).
